[Klug-general] dns

[james morris]

Hi,

I've been using Arch Linux for... some time now... and some time ago...
something changed which meant (AFAICT) I had to specify which DNS to use.
Knowing next to nothing about it I used OpenDNS.

Ie. In /etc/resolv.conf:
# OpenDNS servers
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220

Over the past day or so I've not been able to load Facebook. I can only
conclude it's because of using OpenDNS and some searches reveal it as a
possible cause. I have booted into Debian on the same machine - which
doesn't use OpenDNS and viewing Facebook presented no problem.

Supposedly, my ISP (the lovely BT) provides DNS but the obvious google
search doesn't really reveal anything which appears authoritative (in my
mind at least).

Emptying resolve.conf gives me unknown host.

Can't I just tell it "look the router knows what it's doing, get it to do
it you pedantic little s**t".

Best,
James
